The United States is not the good guy, and our so-called #humanitarian missions are meant to serve the interests of #colonialism and #imperialism. The goal of food aid in #Gaza is not to help the #Palestinians, but to help their oppressors and #occupiers maintain control.

#Humanitarian crisis continues spreading throughout #Russia and Russian occupied regions of #Ukraine as all resources go into war efforts.
Occupied by Russians for 11 years, most of #Donetsk region has decayed to the point of having no functioning indoor plumbing, water deliveries keeping the population just on the edge of survival.

#Hamas terrorists looting #humanitarian aid in #Gaza.
The food shortages there are caused by Hamas stealing, hoarding and then selling food at above-market prices in order to finance their own existance
Today in the Guardian LIVE, Josh Butler reports that Jacqui Lambie says what I have been thinking for months; the United Nations should send #peacekeepers into #Gaza to help protect and distribute food. Arguing that it would not be a peace keeping mission but a #humanitarian and protection mission. She seems to think that it would be possible.
What it is IMO is a sensible proposition and one the ought to have seen the light of day months ago. I don't know if such a mission requires a #UN Security #Council vote, but it it does, maybe this is the trigger for the UN #Assembly to tell the Council to shove it up their collective a*** (The UN needs a good shake anyway).
In any case, I think the idea of a UN protection and humanitarian mission ought to be seriously considered.

State Department halts visas for people from Gaza
From #NPR

On Aug. 4, the organization HEAL announced the arrival of 11 critically injured children, ages 6 to 15, along with their siblings and caregivers to several major cities, including Boston, Atlanta and Dallas, for medical care.
The news of their arrival led far-right activist #LauraLoomer to claim — without providing any supporting evidence — on social media that #HEAL Palestine "is mass importing GAZANS into the US" under the "false claim" of humanitarian aid.
Writing on X on Saturday, Loomer took credit for the State Department's decision to halt the #humanitarian visa program for people from #Gaza, calling the news "fantastic" and thanking Secretary of State #MarcoRubio for this decision.

I’m an American, and I’m not giving up support for #Ukraine. Not now. Not ever.
Today was my last workout session at the #Fitness Court in Malden before heading out in a few days on my sixth #humanitarian volunteer trip. I hope these efforts, however small they may seem, carry a message of resilience and unity to the people of Ukraine.
Every act of solidarity—from donations to conversations—makes a difference.

120k #Ukrainians in US at risk of deportation as Biden-era program lapses
This concerns #refugees who lived in #US since Aug. 16, 2023, under Uniting for #Ukraine program, by #Biden administration to allow Ukrainians to stay in US on #humanitarian parole
#Ukrainians staying in US were given 2-year renewable legal status provided they find a U.S. sponsor
#Trump suspended it in January as part of a push to tighten immigration policy.

That meeting was sickening; Putin loved it — Russian strike hits central Sumy just hours before Trump-Putin summit — Half of Starlink terminals sent to Ukraine found in Russian-occupied areas — Ukraine strikes oil refinery in Russia’s Samara Oblast, command post in Donetsk Oblast … and more

Being a #humanitarian requires zero political partisan allegiances. In fact, it requires you to not be loyal to ANY political party whatsoever. Especially in a global capitalist environment.
